We are proud of you, Kevin. #ShugaSukari.@harambee__stars @Sulwe0 @SulweFM @radiomaisha @RadioJamboKenya @RadioCitizenFM pic.twitter.com/QPMCg6DKXK— NZOIASUGARFC (@nzoiasugarfc2) March 11, 2021 The Salim Babu coached side is further cushioned by the fact that they have a superior goal difference (-8) compared to Wazito (-20), meaning that the crypto funded side will not only need to win their last game but to do so by over ten goals, an almost implausible task.With that, Juma, who has been Nzoia’s shining light in recent seasons, even earning call ups to the Harambee Stars provisional squads, expressed his relief after the team finally shrugged off the relegation scare.”Of course as the captain it is a nice feeling for the team to escape relegation. It was a long battle but in the end we managed to get the job done,” he told Mozzart Sport.##NAJAVA_MECA_6444514##Despite managing to maintain their top flight status, Juma however called on his team to pull their socks next campaign to avoid being embroiled in the fight for relegation all season long as has been the case in the about to be concluded campaign.”We have always been fighting relegation as a team which is not a good thing. When you look at our games, most of them we had an upper hand but we allowed teams to come back even when we had the lead. I hope next season, the management plans right so that we avoid this story of always fighting relegation,” the player added.The millers will wrap up their campaign with a last home game against AFC Leopards on Saturday.
